To have a superstar such as Akon commend a budding artiste is a big deal thus Black Sherif is beside himself with excitement over the endorsement.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

In fact, he is humbled by Akon disclosing he is a big fan of his (Black Sherif) and it encourages him to do more.<\/p>\n

A fortnight ago, the Senegalese-American singer was heard on BBC Radio<\/em> 1 Xtra saying he is a huge fan of Black Sherif and he would snap him up if no major label picked him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of Black Sherif right now. I think it may be because he just reminded me of the energy of myself when I came out. I remember the first record, bro.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in New York City when a friend of mine called Baako from Mali played me the song and I said yo who the F is that? You can hear in his voice, you can feel the pain, the struggle, you hear the challenges and you can just hear a ghetto kid wanting to get out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the way he says it, you know is real, it\u2019s nothing that\u2019s fabricated and if no major label picks him up, they need to get to him before I do,\u201d Akon is quoted to have said on BBC Radio<\/em> 1Xtra.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Graphic Showbiz<\/span><\/em>, the Kwaku The Traveller<\/em> hitmaker said he was humbled by Akon\u2019s endorsement and this would urge him to do more.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch comments will urge me to do more. I have received such comments from superstars like Snoop Dogg but I am not allowing all that to get to my head.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see them as compliments and a challenge for me to do more. Black Sherif is just starting and Ghanaians and the world are about to experience something spectacular from me,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Black Sherif rose to global acclaim with his hit string of successful singles such as First and Second Sermon, Kwaku The Traveller,<\/em> among others.<\/p>\n

The Konongo native has enjoyed a good year with his debut album The Villain I Never Was currently topping charts across digital streaming platforms.<\/p>\n

His maiden Mosama Disco concert on Wednesday, December 21 was successful.<\/p>\n
